OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured route optimisation software for use by the Road Maintenance Partnership and its Waste Management Service. The software supports the planning of routes for road maintenance and waste management operations. This is a software supply requirement, delivered for use in Dundee. The procurement was made through the Crown Commercial Service’s Vertical Application Services framework, covering route optimisation software.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bramble Hub Limited. Dundee City Council used a direct award through the Crown Commercial Service RM6259 framework, without a separate competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active, with a stated period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028 and options to extend for two further 12-month periods. The contract value is £252,172. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and that bid came from outside the EU. The requirement was handled as a single lot.

For software suppliers, this award shows Dundee City Council buys route optimisation software to support both road maintenance and waste management operations. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate that its software can address routing needs across these two municipal services and be delivered for use in Dundee. The council used an existing Crown Commercial Service framework to make a direct award, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through an equivalent compliant route would be important. The recorded competition attracted one bid, from an SME, and price was the stated award basis; suppliers should therefore be able to offer a commercially competitive solution as well as service-specific capability.
